1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Davie, how would you us try in the past, you know,

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: never disconcentrated this much on shore. Where have you been

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: able to pick up from him? Yeah, I think he

4
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 1: can learn a lot from from him on the field. Obviously,

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: just just from a scheme standpoint. Obviously he's done it,

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: um for a long time. He knows that stuff. But

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: to me, I think a lot of it is in

8
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: in his routine and his you know, daily preparation. How

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: he prepares for practice, how he reviews practice and learns

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: from practice. I think just that routine and and um,

11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, just just learning from that. Being able to

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: watch him every day, I think is is been to

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 1: for me has been the most most helpful. So um,

14
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 1: I mean, one, it's consistent. I think you know, he

15
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,200
Speaker 1: does the same thing, um, but you know, I guess

16
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: the way he'll prepare with the script, the way he'll um,

17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, go through all his his assignments, way he'll

18
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: draw it out and then um, you know, after practice,

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: reviewing it, watching the film, and um, just learning from it.

20
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:04,639
Speaker 1: So I mean I think, uh, you know, all that stuff,

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: but just just his routine is helpful. Daniel, how would

22
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: you describe your relationship with ELI thus far. I think

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: it's been. It's been great. Um, you know, I think

24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: we've got a great room and you know, a great,

25
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: great group of guys in there. So, um, you know,

26
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: he's been He's been very helpful for me. Uh and

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: I've you know, I've certainly learned a lot. But I think,

28
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: you know, we've got a great relationship and you know

29
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: throughout the room with with Alex and Kyle as well.

30
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: I think we've got a we've got a great room

31
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: and a lot of guys, um, you know, helping each other.

32
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: So it's been good. I know it's only in the process.

33
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: But do you feel like you're progressing? I think so, yeah,

34
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: I think I am. And um, you know that's the

35
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: goal is to progress every day hopefully. So um, you know,

36
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: I think I am. I've I've you know, learned a

37
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: lot and you know we're installing just about every day.

38
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: So um, the challenges to progress every day, I think

39
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,919
Speaker 1: I've I think I've done that, Daniel. What is different

40
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: about routine your studying than if you're observing the ELI

41
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: that from from every you know, your quarterback and I've

42
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: done all this stuff alsome, what's different about it? Uh?

43
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: We don't have to go to class, but um, yeah,

44
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. I think the time is

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: probably the biggest thing is that you don't have um,

46
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: you know, you can be in the building all day

47
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: and you can focus on, um, what you need to

48
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: focus on. The time constraint isn't as restrictive. But UM, yeah,

49
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, it's just it's just more. I mean,

50
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: everything's a lot more here. We're installing more and as

51
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: as a rookie, it's you know, it's it's uh, it's

52
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: more so you get it takes time, but it's all. Um,

53
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: it's all been good and I feel like I've learned

54
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: a lot. Have you feel any awosiness at all? I mean,

55
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: you know you're here to be the starting quarterback here

56
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: some day and replacing you know, I mean you haven't

57
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: sensed anything, any personality things at all. I really really haven't. Um,

58
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: to be honest, you know, I think it's been. Um,

59
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: it's been good. Like I said, we've got a we've

60
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: got a good room and a lot of a lot

61
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: of really good guys. So um, you know, we're certainly

62
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: focused on um, you know, every day here and making

63
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: sure we're practicing at the highest level possible. So that's

64
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,239
Speaker 1: a that's the goal, and it's been um, yeah, it's

65
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: been good so far. Would you say that three weeks ago,

66
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: I've never it's been out. You've mentioned a bunch of times,

67
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: you've learned a lot. Is there one thing that stands

68
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,839
Speaker 1: out that is different from being a photoback at duke

69
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: where that it is different now in terms of the

70
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: way you prepare to go on the field for an

71
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: O T A. UM, yeah, I think, um, you know

72
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: one that you know, what you do with the script

73
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: before practice, I think is something different is um, you know,

74
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: really really studying that and preparing for that, um, you know,

75
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: for your reps and you really want to have an

76
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: awareness of what everyone's doing. But um, you know, just

77
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: just getting the script beforehand and understanding that preparing for uh,

78
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: for that, I think it's different. You know, didn't really

79
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: do that. A whole lot of a duke is kind

80
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: of just get out and and run, you know, run

81
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: the play. But here, you know, you're you're preparing for that.

82
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: You're like, you know, focusing your preparation based off you know,

83
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: the script, like being a giant right now, are you

84
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: enjoying all the other aspects that come with it. I am, yeah,

85
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: it's been it's been a lot of fun, um so far.

86
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, it's been kind of around here.

87
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: We're still staying around the corner at the residence end,

88
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: so it's uh, it's here and back a lot, but

89
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's all good. It's been been fun. Pat

90
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: Shermer said, Uh, you know, like for your young rookie quarterback,

91
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: he just wants it to look like football for you,

92
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: right Like it's a hard position to go and step

93
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: in and be successful right away. I'm wondering where you

94
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: are for your base sign from when you first came in.

95
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: Was it kind of what you expected where you like,

96
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: is it was it even harder where you maybe below

97
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: where you even thought you were going to be, or um,

98
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, I think I think one every

99
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: day is different. You know, when you're putting in new

100
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: plays and you're getting new looks from the defense, I

101
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: mean that that causes you to adjust and to to

102
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: uh you know, kind of learn on the fly. But

103
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think, um, you know, coming in, I

104
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: didn't have two specific expectations as to how it would

105
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: how we play out. But you know, I think, um,

106
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think the most part we've done well

107
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: as a as a young group, you know, running with

108
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: the with the younger guys, and um yeah, like I said,

109
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: just just trying to improve it every day, trying to

110
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 1: make it, make it look a little better, you know,

111
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: execute a little bit sharper every day. Daniel, how do

112
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: you balance you know, coach has said that he wants

113
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: you to be ready by week one regardless. How do

114
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: you balance kind of letting things develop organically versus kind

115
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: of pushing the envelope to to get yourself ready. Um yeah,

116
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think all our jobs is,

117
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, are to be ready, uh week one, whatever

118
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: the circumstances are. So um, you know, we're we're taking it,

119
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: you know, one one day at a time, and that

120
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 1: we're trying to practice the best we can here in

121
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: O T A. S. And and you know with the

122
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: you know, with the season in mind, and trying to

123
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: you know all prepare ourselves for you know, for that

124
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: first game. So um, you know, like I said, we're

125
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: focused on on what we're doing here, making sure you know,

126
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: tomorrow's practices is as sharp as it can be. Um,

127
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: and you know, through the through the summer, so UM.

128
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: It's been good so far and I'm looking forward to

129
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: finishing strongp
